Programme 5: Minneapolis, Minnesota to Chicago, Illinois. St John’s Abbey outside Minneapolis was designed by modernist Marcel Breuer. St Louis’ Memorial Arch is a great feat of engineering, and Richard Serra’s Joe is pretty good too. Michael Eastman shows us how he photographs America’s vanishing buildings, and in Chicago we visit Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and the glorious new Millennium Park.
Artland: USA is an art road documentary series in which hosts Charlie Luxton and Mame McCutchin drive a 35-foot RV across the United States. Journeying from San Diego, California to Portland, Maine, they visit artists and museums, architecture and Americana.
